Denver, Pennsylvania

Denver is a borough in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It was founded by the Swiss immigrant Hans Bucher in 1735, and it was originally known as "Bucher's Thal"; in the 1800s, the town was renamed to Union Station after the opening of a train station, and, in 1881, the residents decided to abandon their train station-derived name in favor of "Denver", chosen by Adam Brubaker because there was only one post office in the United States called "Denver". In 2016, Denver had a population of 3,867 people.
